Keep getting message 'you need to install flash player to play this content'

but flash is up to date (shockwave flash 16.0.0.305) and set to always activate. it is a plug in and i have uninstalled flash and reinstalled it.
there is an earlier shockwave plug in (9.0.45.0 from 2007) with a red vulnerability warning next to it. ive tried to remove that but cant. however, that has been there with the warning message for years and this problem only started this week, seemingly at random

Your System Details list shows an old Flash 9.0 r45.
* Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.

Keep getting message - You need to restart your computer - iMac freezes

My iMac freezes without notice, a dark screen comes over the monitor and the message "you need to restart your computer" appears.
This happens randomly and I have no idea what causes this. I thought perhaps it was just a loose power cord, as the cord does seem quite loose.
However, it happens after the machine has been running for some time. Before I have a chance to save my work, the computer tells me it has to shut down. It's not a consistent thing, so it's hard to know if it's the cord or not.
This also happened half way through watching a DVD. Nothing was touched or moved, so it wouldn't appear that this is being caused by a loose cord.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem? (I'm running Tiger on this machine with 700+ megs of RAM plus am using a Mac keyboard. Airport is installed but not in use.

Hi there,
I would first make sure your Mac is or isn't on any list contained here: http://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/imac.html - you may in fact have a faulty power supply which is covered by repair extension through Apple.

My computer keeps telling me I need to install flash player when I'm trying to play a game,

My computer keeps telling me to install/update flash player when I"m trying to play a game, so I do and it tells me its installed. But, when I go play the game again, it tells me again to install flash player to play the game. I've done this numerous times. I've even uninstalled flash player and reinstalled it, but it still doesnt work. Why won't my computer let me installupdate flash player??

My Facebook games say that I need to install flash player in order to play the games, but my windows phone says it doesn't support flash player

You need to check with Window to see what alternative they have for Windows phone to use in place of Flash Player.

You need to install flash player even if i have installed already, please help

Some malicious site try to get you to install malware by saying yo have to update Flash.
Only update Flash via Adobe's site.
What version of Flash is currently installed?
In System Preferences they may be an entry for Flash in Lion. I do not remember. There is for Yosemite

Keep getting message from sites that Adobe Flash Player needs to be installed

I have a MacBook, OSX 10.7.5. When I try to download a document, I am told that I need Adobe Flash Player and that I should download it.
When I look on the Adobe website, to check something, I see that the newest version of Flash Player is installed on my computer. As a second choice, I was given, I could download Adobe Air, but that didn't work either.
I have no idea what I need to do to be able to get this information downloaded.
I'm not sure if this is the correct community of whom to ask this question.
Thanks for your help.

What kind of document?

How come after seeing the message "You have successfully install Flash Player".

I then go the the site that I need it for. I get the message "This game requires that you have Javascript turned on, and that you have Adobe Flash or higher installed. Click the button below to install it (will take less than 30 seconds".
Javastrip is enabled. Is this just another problem ADOBE is having with the up date or what?

I received your PM, but it would be better that you reply here in the forum.
So you use Windows 7 (what edition?), IE9, Firefox, and Chrome.
What files do you have in
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ?
C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash ?

IMac G4 Freezes - Get message - You need to restart your computer.

I just posted this question in the G5 forum, I think. The Mac I am using is a G4 - the round 'lamp base' model' - so I will repost the question here.

I ran a Hardware Test on it and everything passed. I also completely reloaded all the software, erased the hard drive and did a complete reinstall, and the problem persists. It really is a nuisance and I have no idea what else to try.

Hi AnnieGrace,
Sorry to hear of your woes. You are suffering from Kernel Panics (link) which could be caused by defective RAM, dodgy USB drivers or a software corruption etc etc.
I would advise disconnecting all external devices (except an Apple mouse and keyboard), removing any 3rd party RAM you've installed and the Airport card if you have one.
The best thing to do then is work though Dr Smoke's Kernel Panic Resolution Guide (link).
Do let us know how you get on. When I suffered them it was down to cheap RAM; other AD users have reported that old keyboards caused their problem.
regards

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."

Trying to download itunes and keep getting message 'the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation' and therefore cant download - any ideas

trying to download itunes and keep getting message 'the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation' and therefore cant download - any ideas

Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Does that go through any better for you?
